The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could move back into the first round of the NFL Draft, something they have a history of doing. "You get a little antsy, but we've already gone through scenarios," Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said. "Who are the guys you'd consider going to get depending on how far they drop? Here's what it takes. We've gone through a lot of (debates) that way."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik expressed confidence that CB Darrelle Revis will not be a holdout during the course of his new deal. "That won't happen," Dominik said. "It won't. Every year he's going to walk out of his contract and say, 'I'm the highest paid defensive back in the NFL, I'm one of the highest paid defensive players in the NFL,' and there's a lot of peace with Darelle right now, as there should be. But at the same point, he bet on himself and believes in himself and that's why we were willing to extend up to that number of $16 million, but every year he walks into a new year with $16 million in front of him."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are considering putting a first round tender on RB LeGarrette Blount. If they did tender Blount, he would make $2.879 million in 2013 if he did not sign an extension. General manager Mark Dominik does not want to leave himself short at the running back position in the event of injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said in an interview that the team may still move CB Ronde Barber to safety. "If we need to make a move to pull (Barber) back from safety to corner, we can do that in a heartbeat," Dominik said when asked about the possibility of losing CB Aqib Talib following his trial on assault charges in June.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said the team is ready to be a good team in 2012 and is no longer undergoing a rebuild. "We're tired of rebuilding. We want to be a good football in 2012," Dominik said.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rolled over all available resources into the 2012 salary cap in anticipation of being more active in free agency, according to general manager Mark Dominik. "We'll be more active in free agency that we were last year," Dominik said Tuesday, Feb. 14. "We purposely rolled every penny we could into this year's cap. Clubs didn't have to do that, but we wanted to. We have plans." Tampa Bay is reportedly carrying over $23.5 million from 2011, estimating the team will have $60.5 million in cap space heading into the start of free agency.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said the team will be active in free agency to address their needs. "We understand we're not a finished product," Dominik said. "I know that there's things we need to address on this team and I know that we'll do it in all capacities. We're going to do it in free agency. I don't want people to be worried that we're not going to spend in free agency. We'll be involved."
